KDE crashing really often

Issues & Assistance Newbies
1

Hello everyone,
I’ve been using Garuda Dr460nized (first time on linux) for two months or so, and for about a week or two i get very oftenly like a black screen, the bottom bar on my main screen and the top bar on the second monitor vanishes for a few seconds, and sometimes they come back, sometimes they don’t. My newbie take is that KDE plasma stops working for seemingly no reason, but i can still be using the computer with what programs were open before the crash, for example a game and web browser would keep running just fine.
So i’ve already tried googling my issues several times and here’s all i’ve done so far :
Update to most recent BIOS
Removed any widgets (except the ones that make the whole thing crash if i click them while in edit mode)
Clear Desktop
Close any apps that i dont make use right now
Even tried the midnight commander (but i dont understand and dont wanna f things up)

but so far nothing conclusive. Still crashing randomly every 5/10min and whenever i click a widget in edit mode.
i will add that i switched to Garuda after being on Win10 for years, and nothing that even matches this ever happened on Win10.
Again, i’m very new to linux in general, so if you think you miss some infos to help my situation, please ask !
I’ll try and paste my garuda-inxi

i notice you use nvidia GPU, this might be the issue, for lots of trouble with the latest drivers (555) have occurred. The following commands will install an all Nvidia driver GUI, where you can select whatever version is available for your card, propriety, or open source, and the lowest, and highest, Nvidia driver versions you can use.

i found this helped fixed the issues i had with my RTX 4080,
#download nvidia-all drivers gui

git clone GitHub - Frogging-Family/nvidia-all: Nvidia driver latest to 396 series AIO installer

cd nvidia-all

#compile the gui

makepkg -si
#select drivers
(sudo pacman -S mkinitcpio)
sudo mkinitcpio -P
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
reboot

You can also try X11 instead of Wayland as this can also make a difference
Open settings
type in sddm
select login screen (sddm)
Select behaviour
select user and X11 window manager.
log out and in again.

Sounds like your issue is that Plasma is crashing and reloading.

There is something odd in the new edit mode for sure; even using stock standard widgets and editing them it can crash. I’ve been trying to find a relevant bug report on bugs.kde.org , but I couldn’t find the exact reproduction cases I was looking for with the search terms I’ve tried (and I can’t seem to pin down the exact reproduction steps to Plasma crashing myself). All I can really say is that I am not running any adjustable size desktop widgets currently and Plasma has been stable both in and out of edit mode.

If there is a widget that might be causing you issues and you can’t remove them at all, I would try a new fresh user and see if the issues persist using that. That would be a good first troubleshooting step.

There is a more recent version

Hi, thank you for the response
I tried downgrading nvidia drivers to the “stable” drivers (according to nvidia website)
Morover i dont understand this part of your reply,

as the nvidia all i installed gave me the option to chose of the drivers right away after the makepkg -si

and i’m already using X11 as Wayland is just Wayslower in my experience

5

hello and thank you for you response
thank for noticing the BIOS update, seems to have fixed a few things. Now i can use edit mode the way it was supposed to be, but the plasma crashes still occurs, and now even using the super key make the hole thing go dark. But, no more crashing and coming back to life every 2 minutes
I dont know what to tell you to actually reporoduce this crash as it seems kinda random

6

if you do not have mkinitcpio installed then (sudo pacman -S mkinitcpio)
the other commands are to redo the nvidia dkms, and update your grub config

sudo mkinitcpio -P
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
reboot

7

I have a similar set up, and I found logging out, changing from wayland to x11 and logging back in fixed my crashing apps. (the wayland / x11 option is near the bottom of the screen)

Hello I have the same problem (or at least the same symptoms) with KDE frequently crashing, usually restoring itself but often enough also just freezing with me having to hard-shutdown my PC. BIOS should be on the newest version, as I updated it like 1-2 weeks ago, although I did have to raise the DRAM-voltage for my system to be stable after it for some reason. My Minecraft instance also crashes quite often, not 100% sure whether those two are related but the guys from the modpack said that it was likely a PC-issue sothat’s why I’m here with it. .

I do also have to say that my PC has some pretty bad graphical glitches when watching movies backed-up from a disc in VLC, with my Desktop also frequently crashing and restoring itself (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1237343874028933240/1265999063392981037/image.png?ex=66ad7041&is=66ac1ec1&hm=692ff76e48b518ba2e291f2fcf1b1eef8669a9fdbb6036a3d37d076dd555d9be&)

The second newest MC-coredump would be “https://pastebin.com/W3v15iua”, and the newest “https://pastebin.com/nHukRC47”

Sounds more of a hardware related problem if you are having more than just Plasma crashing (freezes, doing a voltage change to RAM to unsaid amount). This is most likely a separate issue. I’ll keep it here for now just in case, but it will probably end up in its own thread later.

There has been a BIOS update just released a few days ago.
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B650-P-WIFI/support
I would suggest updating BIOS, try setting voltages to normal, and do some memtests.

Those pastebin links are empty. If you still need to post something large that would be useful, try using our PrivateBin https://bin.garudalinux.org/

My DRAM-voltage is just 1.25 or 1.26 instead of 1.11 from before.
Anyway thanks for your answer, I’ll try updating the BIOS again and see how it goes. Will post the new pastebin links shortly.

as the password. The first pastebin is where it says
“The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code.
See problematic frame for where to report the bug.”.
No idea if they are actually useful, if not then sorry. Problem with setting voltages back to 1.11 is that my PC doesn’t POST in that case :). At least with the RAM-speeed as it was before the update.

and

13

Yeah sure but i’m already using X11 as my last post said, and logging out and in every time it crashes is kinda counter productive like i want a stable and persistent solution

14

thank you very much for the clarification

15

To sum this up what ending up fixing things for me was th BIOS update and the downgrade of nvidia drivers to the stable branch.
thanks to everyone for replying, i’m thankful y’all reached out and helped

Kinda seems to me like that too by now, I’ve updated my BIOS now and at the moment I haven’t had any crashes from my booted Linux yet. When I tried to boot with 1.26V to DRAM though it at first just didn’t wanna boot into Linux, and after that I wanted to up the voltage to 1.27, where already my BIOS started to look like kinda weird but still usable, so I’m starting to suspect it’s a GPU-problem (also happened on the last BIOS-update althuogh more severe).
Do you know any good GPU-stress-testing software for Linux (will search on my own too, just wanted to ask in case you knew one and it didn’t come up) and a place where I could upload the BIOS-images I took?

17

Also I’ll be away from home for the next week, so if it does happen again I’ll just open a new topic.

Well it does seem that the new version of plasma is a bit unstable as i can’t update without having issues, i tried 3 times and had to roll back, it even crashed during update and blew up itself. Here is the garuda-inxi, i’ve rolled back plasma because of the latest update issues.
